Asymptomatic Hyperuricemia Associates with Cardiometabolic Risk Indicators in Overweight/Obese but Not in Lean Adolescents.

In lean adolescents, hyperuricemia is not associated with cardiometabolic profile indicating an increased risk. Existence of this rather prevalent phenotype remains undetected unless lean and overweight/obese subjects are analyzed separately. Longitudinal studies are needed to elucidate the potential clinical consequences of asymptomatic hyperuricemia in lean subjects in later life.
